The next morning, Miley and Lily met up at Rico's. Good thing Jackson wasn't working the morning shift. Miley ordered a strawberry milkshake. She sat at one of the tables waiting for Lily and Oliver.

Just beyond Rico's Oliver and Lily were walking on the edge of the shore. Walking and talking about the night before.

"Yeah, she got really defensive once I told her that there's something wrong about Jake. She said I was being difficult, and I was totally wrong. Maybe I am wrong; I can't tell her the honest truth. It would hurt her." Lily said feeling upset

"Lily, don't be so hard on yourself. We have to tell Miley soon. Ya know, before their relationship goes farther than we know it shouldn't go. It would be wrong of us as her friends not to tell her... "Oliver said before getting cut off...

"But hello, she and I almost got into a fight. She thought I was jealous of her. Which I'm not! I won't risk our friendship over a stupid fight about Jake Ryan!!"

"Yeah well you've got to take that chance. We promised Marisa that we would get the point straight across to Miley no matter what the cost. I bet you forgot all about Marisa's story haven't you?" Oliver said with much satisfaction for remembering Marisa

"I remember Marisa and her story. Don't think I didn't! I'm just not up to losing Miley, are you?"

"Heck no! But we have to tell her soon!! Lily, we've go to tell Miley today."

"You tell her, I'll stand next to you proving our point. Then Miley will understand why I kept on stuttering when trying to tell her the truth about Jake last night. She'll understand everything."

"Fine, she must be waiting for us by Rico's. Let's go talk to her there."

"No, somewhere else... how about the old lifeguard stand?"

"That's perfect! Let's get her."

And they were off to Rico's to find Miley.

Miley was still there anxious to see her best friends. She needed some time to spend with them before her Hannah thing.

While rushing up to Miley, Lily and Oliver said, "Miley, hold up! We need to tell you something!"

"Oh hey guys! I've been waiting like over ten minutes here for you two. Where've ya'll been?" Miley said greeting her friends

"That's not important. Miley we need to tell you something really big about Jake! I'll tell you, Lily's just her for support." Oliver said

"Yeah, what he said." Lily echoed

"Ummm, okay, I'll listen to whatever 'Jake news' there is later. But now let's hit the mall or go surfing or ride our bikes to the park or something fun..." Miley made air quotes around "Jake news"

"Miley, no, we have to tell you now!" Oliver insisted

"What's with the sudden fun rush? Although the mall does sound fun... right Oliver..." Lily elbowed him in the ribs

"Sure, I could use some new sweatshirts and... wait a minute, no it doesn't. C'mon Miley we've got all Saturday to do whatever, but just right now can't we..." Oliver said before Miley cut him off

"Actually, I've only got the morning. Ya see there's this Hannah thing I've got at 12 so we only have this Saturday morning to do something fun. Now getting back to the mall idea..." Miley said

"Ooo, what kinda Hannah thing? Luncheon with Rolling Stones magazine editors? Photo shoots for an upcoming Hannah Montana concert? Gonna start a Hannah Montana fragrance? Meeting up with Tracey to go to LA for an album signing? WHAT WHAT WHAT? Oh and can Lola come too?" Lily said with a lively smile

"Well, no, none of that. I'm actually flying over to New York to audition for that movie that's gonna be shot in Romania... I might be gone for a while." Miley said

"WHAT?! You didn't tell me this yesterday?" Lily

"Yeah me neither! You can't just leave for New York and... wait a second did you say for the movie in Romania? Isn't that where Jake is? Oh I see..." Oliver

"Huh...?" Miley

"Hey yeah, you're just auditioning so you can see Jake again. You just couldn't stand being away from your precious boyfriend for four measly months. Miley that's sick!" Lily

"Oh no, Lily I can't believe you and Oliver would just hurt me by that saying that! I thought you guys would support me, especially you Lily! What is up? Is that what you wanted to tell me before?" Miley

"Well, kinda, ummm, uh, I forgot. What are we even talking about here?" Oliver

"Oh, you! Miley what we're trying to tell you is..." Lily before she got cut of by Miley's cell

Di-di-di-ding – That was the sound of a text message from Miley's phone.

Miley checked the screen and it read '1 new text from Jake'. She immediately opens it and read the message to herself.

Miley,

It's me. I just want 2 tell u that i ms u a lot here. I think about u evry day i just got the news that Hannah Montana iz gonna audition 4 the role of the villainess in the movie. i thought u might wanna kno. Well i'll be texting u 4 like the next mnth.

love,

Jake

She closes her phone and squeals.

"Whoa! Must be a text from Jake... So wud he say? That he loves you sooo much?" Lily said

"Yes." Miley

"And..." Oliver

"Nothing. It's none of your business." Miley

"Oh, so that's how it is now?! Well then fine, you can go to the mall on your own. And to think that you trusted us, you won't even read us a text message. Oliver and I are hitting the waves. C'mon" Lily said then grabbed Oliver by his shirt and pulled him in the direction of the shore.

Oliver gives a concerned look to Miley as he was leaving, while Lily didn't even look back.

Miley's left alone once again. She's concerned for her and Lily's friendship, but puts it aside and decides to walk home ready to pack for New York.

Chapter Two done. Now I really want more reviews for this chapter. Not that I'm forcing you guys to review, but it would be nice. I could use some criticism. Well thanks to everyone that takes their time and reads! Chapter three is still a work in progress.
